LAFC are in advanced talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the transfer of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, sources revealed on Thursday. The former Spurs captain, who is in the last year of his contract, has not played a single minute of the current season under new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou, who was appointed Spurs coach ahead of the current season, has favored Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, whom he signed from Empoli during the summer for £17.2 million ($21.9m). This brings an end to Lloris’s long-standing position as the Spurs’ number one shot-stopper, soon establishing himself as the first-choice keeper following his arrival at the club in 2012.

Although the French 2018 World Cup winner received offers to leave the club from Lazio, Nice, and clubs in the Saudi Pro League, he decided to remain at Spurs in the hopes of clinching a spot in the starting lineup. Lloris was appointed Spurs captain in the 2015-16 season before Postecoglou replaced him with Son Heung-Min this season.

LAFC have been quite busy in past couple of days. The team first traded for New England Revolution attacking midfielder Lee Nguyen and then signed former Hull City forward Adama Diomande on the same day.

In order to get Lee Nguyen, who requested to be traded earlier this year, LAFC gave up $700,000 in allocation money with further $250,000 and 2019 or 2020 first-round draft pick going to Revolution as well if certain conditions are met. According to ESPN, Revolution had better offers from some of the Eastern Conference teams for Nguyen but was reluctant to trade the player within the conference.

Lee Nguyen joined New England Revolution in 2012 and established himself as one of the team’s most valuable players. During the six seasons he spent with the team, the 31-year-old scored 54 goals and had 56 assists in 211 league and cup appearances. He was also the finalist for the 2014 Major League Soccer MVP Award. Nguyen also had nine appearances for the USMNT.

“We are excited to add Adama to our Club,” – said LAFC general manager John Thorrington. “Adama is a dangerous striker who will add another element to our attack. He has top-level international and club experience, and, with his familiarity with Bob, we expect him to contribute immediately. In Adama, we are signing another very good player in the prime of his career.“

In LAFC he will be reunited with coach Bob Bradley, after previously working under him at Norway’s Stabaek.

“Adama is a quality goalscorer who brings the experience of playing at a high level in Europe,” – said Bradley. “We believe he will have a strong impact in MLS.“
